Technical Deep Dive

"The GTX 1060 is fundamentally unequipped to handle GTA 6's demands, being severely bottlenecked by its paltry VRAM, limited memory bandwidth, and outdated rasterization power. Expect an unplayable experience across all modern resolutions, far below console fidelity and performance targets."
